Short description

The existing WIPP seismological network with analog telemetry demonstrates high rates of noise bursts that may be attributed to high-density RF contamination from surrounding oil and gas field production. The purpose of this experiment is to verify that the source of the contamination is RF. Sensors will be deployed to existing WIPP sites to record in parallel. Deployment times of around 24 hours is all that will be necessary.
